Title: This is my hobby, don't judge me
Post by: Shostakovich on November 06, 2017, 04:45:03 AM
One night, while plundering the depths of weird parts of YouTube for new and rare memes, I found a gold mine. It was an entire community of people engaged in a bizarre activity I never could have imagined would exist in any serious form. That night, I discovered...

Fast Food Reviews

Yes: there are plucky, self-starters of all ages looking to make it big on Youtube by critically evaluating the lowest form of dining. It's the most blue collar version of entrepreneurialism ever. And the personalities range from the mundane to truly wild. Here is a smattering just to give you an idea.

One guy's shtick is extremely stilted, awkward language while eating fast food in dapper attire. This video is so good it actually turned into a Facebook meme:

Skip to 1:40 for an epic diatribe.

Here's a less popular YouTuber. This guy decided to do his review with his kids in the car and actually ordered the wrong item after waiting 30 minutes in line to get his food:
https://youtu.be/ZXT1BOIHMGk

This is a video of two fatsos eating titled "eating sounds". It's not even a review. It has 100k views. Why? Why? I don't know, but I'm subscribed.
https://youtu.be/OJqRucvM6ls

But my favorite... nothing beats Robert Dyer. From the backwoods of West Virginia, this hidden gem uses 1999 video effects to bring you the most puzzling behavior you've ever seen. As if his Martian attitude wasn't weird enough, he has an inexplicable alternative personality named Tarnation Bob that does... I'm not sure exactly. I presume it's comic relief, but then that would imply his normal persona isn't already meant for comic relief.
https://youtu.be/lMwS3BWQBbI

Robert Dyer is so good because it's like those weird videos Everything is Terrible always finds but he puts out content consistently and there's always something weird to laugh at. Although maybe it's bad for my health.

Anyway I hope you've put me on ignore by this point, if not thanks for reading.

Running on empty's kid is a legend. He started with energy drinks when he was probably 12 or something.

One of his best:

Lol that kid looks surprisingly slender for being a fast food connoisseur. May change when he gets into his 20s tho.

He's going to start his own show on Channel 4 soon.

Fun fact: he's 23 in that video.

My dad has found out that he can browser them youtubes to watch Asians of all walks of life cook foodstuffs.

From the "my father" Indian grandpa with only five teeth making fried chicken legs for orphans, to the "beautiful girl from my village cooking snails"  with utterly misleading preview pic, he watches them all.

And once he grows tired of those, he switches to the other side, for example the Food Ranger or Mark Wiens, that seem to eke out a living by eating and rating food at food stalls and in restaurants in-and-around greater Asia. Even without the reviews, he's perfectly happy to watch an uncommented video of a random food stall chef frying what appears to be a mix of rice and rice starch for easily five minutes before turning up the heat, upon which the "dough" blows up like a balloon.

Lately he has even claimed the abyss that is home cooking/recipe videos.

Will forward the videos this thread to him. Thanks, mates.

This guy dresses like he's the most loyal dude out there, and will always love his girl unconditionally.

Robert Dyer is something special. I feel like if he wasn't reviewing fast food he'd be reviewing cuts of human flesh.

Man, men and women really do view the world completely differently.

Reviewbrah is a gift from the heavens. His energy drink reviews are classic internet shit.
